I have the 1986 edition of this book, the second addition I believe. I know there is now a much larger 4th edition. Right now I am primarily interested in the strength and loss numbers for Union regiments.
I get the impression from the ads I have seen for the 4th edition that the new information is concerning numbers for Confederate units mostly, and Union arms.
Does anyone know if I would be ok using figures for Union units, with the old 1986 edition?
I will eventually need the newest edition I am sure but I can't afford it yet. Civil War books can be addicting it seems.
Thank you very much to anyone who cares to comment!
